The Village of Richton Park's business community is strategically served by four high-traffic road corridors that include:

Interstate-57 (over 70,000 ADT)

Illinois 50/Cicero Avenue (19,000 ADT)

Sauk Trail (27,000 ADT)

Governors Highway (17,000 ADT)

These roadways serve a diverse and affluent population of over 130,000 within a 5-mile radius. The market area includes a daytime population of approximately 50,000 workers.

Lakewood Plaza Shopping Center

The Village of Richton Park owns and manages the recently renovated Lakewood Plaza, a 16,500 square foot regional shopping center located on Sauk Trail and adjacent to Interstate-57. Ready-to-lease tenant spaces range from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. Adjacent to this site is approximately 12 fully-improved acres available for immediate development. Existing businesses include a fine dining restaurant, Flavor, a Family Dollar store, a Class A 10,000 square foot office condominium building, the Majestic Center, and the Lakewood Bowling center.

The Town Center project area is adjacent to Richton Park’s Metra’s Electric line commuter rail station at the intersection of Governors Highway and Sauk Trail. The adopted plan calls for the increase of residential density and commercial intensity through substantial new real estate development.

The village controls a large portion of the properties within the designated primary Town Center development area, while also controlling properties that are located in the secondary Town Center development area. Tax Increment Financing Districts have been established to assist development projects. Additionally, the village has been successful in obtaining funding sources for redevelopment opportunities such as a recently completed rail line viaduct beautification project.

Interstate 57 at Sauk Trail
